    hey everybody, I'm still really new to this, so I may be wrong, but it seems like this radio won't do ctcss? I have to plug crystals to change frequency on receive and transmit. it has a dial with positions for 12 frequencies on receive and 12 frequencies on transmit. I also have a wouxon...

    DXing AM

    So up till a year or so ago, I would do what I could to boost reception of FM (big rooftop antenna with a Winegard ap-8275 preamp), but I had always kinda ignored AM. In years past, to me AM was that unused part of my radio that was there for old people to listen to. (hmm, maybe I'm starting to...

    L-band, local oscilators, and receiver settings.

    hey guys, a question for anyone in-the-know, why does a receiver need to know what the local oscillator frequency is? the output of the lnb or lnbf (for normal applications) is always in the L-band, so why does the receiver not just scan L-band and work with that? Thanks, Denny
